COAT OF SMILES, parody art of iconic symbols. A duck's hat, a mouse's ears and a smiling yellow button. Three iconic things in one image.

The Dog-Duck-Dragon Paradox (DDDP)

I started with no idea, turned it into a dog, then into a duck and ended up with a dragon.

And, then I had an idea. For a fish. But I skipped drawing a fish.

Freibeuter

This is a rough digital preliminary test for one of about six or seven large size acrylic paintings I'm about to produce any time soon, all of which will satirize/parody classical cartoon characters and their iconic attributes. The characters will not be copies of course, but satiric imitations that refer to the originals in a way which creates new originals and new meanings.

That's your model face

Smile without your eyes.
Raise your eyebrows.
Stop smiling.
That's your model face.

A Disneyland sponsored racing team?

Well, no. Since the racing helmet's mouse-ears headgear ruined the aerodynamic efficiency, the duck team decided to go with a different sponsor.

I recorded the entire rough drawing process of the duck team's racing-car and added it here to the finished rough design.

The Disneyland logo was used for parody reasons only.

Put these references all in a blender and you'll have something close to this

Among the references to find are Mary Poppins, Andre Franquin, Donald Duck, Daffy Duck, Mickey Mouse, Wile E. Coyote, ACME Corp. and Jurassic Park.
